Technology For Good: A Series on GE’s Legacy of Innovation

Triple Pundit and I are working with GE to showcase the company's long history of innovation. Last week the company released its data visualization tool. One of the tool’s features is a compendium of GE's annual reports that date back to 1879, when Thomas Edison scored his patent for the incandescent light bulb.

It is not often I can meld my master's degree in history with my MBA (though on the other hand, I use my business insight with the practical research my UMBC history degree taught me), so this project has been a rewarding one. Last week I started with GE's research on the toaster and have since continued with GE's work on light and solar.
